What do you feed your beast, when it is hungry?

I typically run Shell 93, but also run Sunoco 94. I don't notice a difference though.

Anybody could post same. Not looking for an arguement.
I just don't see any creditable information.

BTW, The dirty fuel gets the detergent additives.

What kind of credible information do you seek? Peer reviewed papers? I was skeptical at first but I figured the guys at Click and Clack seem to know their stuff. Now I wonder if it wouldn't be bad idea to go a little out of my way to get gas at a Shell station. I currently get gas at a no brand name place.

No Shell's to speak of in my area, I usually go to BP unless I am in a pinch and need something quick... Marathon (old Citgo).

A Prius because I'm green
VP 95 since it's a block from my house (Bassn_07 don't you have one near you too) Oh wait you don't!

Chevron 91 (crap thanks to Cali hippies)
Shell 91 (see note above)
Nothing else!


While on this topic does anyone do the fuel additive that MB stealerships offer? I keep getting it offered for free all the time, is it worth it?

I did not know what ERC was so I Googled it. Is ERC racing fuel what you mix? If so, what octane?
